- Sheldon is moving up and down while sitting at his computer and complaining how full his bladder is. Leonard tells him to do the obvious thing and to go, but Sheldon is trying to decide which new video game system to buy, Xbox One or PS4. To assist in his decision-making process, he learned that it is better to have a full bladder according to a study he found on the Internet. Penny comes in very happy with her latest audition and how she can cry on cue. She talks about turning on her "waterworks" which pushes Sheldon over his limit causing him to run for the bathroom to pee.
The girls are having wine at Penny's place while Bernadette tells them about an incident at work. She signed a greeting card for a colleague that was about to retire; however, Bernadette discovered that her co-worker been in a horrible accident. Thinking about her retirement, Bernadette told her that she deserved it, not the accident. She also adds that she'll be relieved that her co-worker won't steal her yogurt. Penny gets a call from her agent that she didn't get the part she had just auditioned for, but the Serial Apeist producers called back that the job was hers if she wanted it. She doesn't know whether to take it or not.
Raj is at coffee house and runs into Emily (Laura Spencer). She remembered his website, how he had Amy talk for him and then she tracked him down and acted a bit weird. Raj apologizes to her and tells that she is the coolest person he ever found online. After joking about his personality, Emily asks him to join her so they can get to know each other.
While having their date night dinner at Amy's Apartment, Sheldon can't stop talking to Amy about his video game system conundrum. Amy asks him to pass the butter. As he is getting the butter, Sheldon remarks that he doesn't think Amy is paying enough attention to his subject. She apologizes and then fakes an interest with overly enthusiastic comments. She agrees that it is very tough to make a decision. Sheldon asks her what he should do and she bangs on the table saying, "Please pass the butter!" Penny is now mulling over her decision with Leonard whether to do the film (Serial Apeist 2: Monkey See, Monkey Kill). The screenplay dialogue is terrible. Unfortunately it pays even less than she made at The Cheesecake Factory. Penny has to oil wrestle a bikini-wearing orangutan while she, too, is wearing a bikini and giant monkey hands.
At the end of date night, Sheldon thanks her for dinner and gets ready to leave. Amy asks him if he is forgetting something since it's date night. Sheldon realizes what he had forgotten and willingly goes over to kiss her goodbye. They seem to enjoy it, but he continues to discuss video game systems during the kiss.
Minus Shamy, the gang is having dinner at Leonard's and Raj is telling them about his accidental meeting with Emily. They have plans for the weekend and Raj plans on romancing her with some astronomy banter. He demonstrates on Penny who is moved until Leonard cuts him off. Sheldon comes in and asks the guys to help him with his game system decision. The guys give him their opinions, Penny doesn't know what he's talking about and Bernadette says that she prefers the Wii system. Raj gets a text message from Lucy who wants to see him again. Leonard is impressed that he is juggling two women. Raj wonders how he can date two women at the same time when his normal comfort zone is zero women. Both Bernadette and Howard ask each other if they were seeing others while they were dating. Howard, Bernadette and Penny were not, while Leonard is disappointed that Penny didn't ask him.
Penny and Leonard are having coffee with Wil Wheaton so Penny is trying to get some acting-career advice. Wil says that he has taken some jobs he could call embarrassing. Penny doesn't think that "Star Trek" was that bad, though Wil wasn't thinking about his time on "Star Trek". Penny should take jobs that she is excited about. Wil starts talking about the bad jobs he got after Stand By Me and starts to get depressed and doesn't really help Penny.
Bernadette and Howard are climbing the stairs with Bernadette hoping her colleague goes into a coma before she reads the inappropriate things in her get well card. In apartment 4A, they are still talking about Raj's girl issues and he's decided to date both of them. He plans on saying yes or no to life. The other guys conclude that Raj is going to die alone.
Amy and Sheldon walk into Best Buy ready to purchase the Xbox One game system. He reverts to indecision after thinking about the times he was wrong about the electronic purchases he has made in the past. Amy is definitely peeved. Amy offers to buy him both systems; however, Sheldon doesn't have room for both units in his entertainment center. Amy will get him a new entertainment center which then requires another decision. She then tosses a coin for him. Sheldon catches it. Amy asks which it is and Sheldon is still unable to make a decision. Then he throws it away.
Raj is now on his date with Emily. He tells her about also having a date with Lucy. He asks Emily what she would do. She normally talks about music on a first date. Since Raj and Lucy had only kissed and did not have sex and Raj thinks that he has to tell her about it, she finds that adorable. Emily says that she doesn't need to know since they have just started seeing each other.
Returning to Best Buy, Sheldon is sitting on the floor still worrying about his decision with Amy leaning against him. An employee tells them the retail store is closed, the cash registers are shut down and that they must leave without buying either system. Sheldon breaks down to tears. Amy offers to buy Sheldon dinner to make him feel better, but Sheldon can't decide where to eat.
Finally, Penny is in her dressing room on the movie set of Serial Apeist 2, in a bikini, being fitted for a pair of monkey hands. After asked how they feel, she says that they are great and don't feel like regret at all. The orangutan in the bikini comes in and recognizes Penny. What shocks Penny is that her wrestling companion is Wil Wheaton.
